REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
STATEWIDE ORTHORECTIFIED IMAGERY, ELEVATION DATA, AND LAND USE/LAND COVER DATA
The State of Delaware, Office of Management and Budget (State), seeks to commission a project or projects to collect and orthorectify imagery covering the whole of the state of Delaware for use as a key component of the Delaware Spatial Data Framework. The State also wishes to commission photo-interpretation of the photography to produce a land use/land cover data set that can be compared to previous land use and land cover data sets. In addition, the state wishes to commission a project, which may be performed in concert with the aerial imagery project, to collect georegistered LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) elevation data for Kent and New Castle Counties. Data for these projects should be collected in the winter or spring of 2007, in a leaf-off/no snow condition.
The State wishes to clarify that the preference is for false-color infrared imagery for the imagery portion of this project. It has come to our attention that that, although the RFP specifies that the ortho imagery portion of this proposed project is to be a continuation of the state's recent series of imagery projects, it did not make it clear that that the State's preference is for false-color infrared imagery, which would directly continue the series most recent edition (2002) which was false-color infrared imagery.
